The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Margaret is going to pop down just after 10 for another walk. It’s drizzling but we have waterproofs so we’ll just go. We’ll wander along to the cafe for a light lunch when we finish. I see there’s toast with either scrambled or poached egg and salmon on toast. That sounds quite healthy. I’ll maybe give that a try.

Better than bird seed that's for sure.

Bruce walked. Started listening to The 39 Steps talking book during the walk.

Welshie has read that but it was called the10 steps as that was all she could count to.

Grand kids have been fed and we have been out to a local nature reserve

We went through the Deep Dark Wood
and saw several bears - mostly on leads

came back on a route chosen by the 7 year old - little one (3) was rather wary of wandering through a wood
poor little thing is used to going to shops and shopping centres rather than wandering along things that are only vaguely paths and have plants hanging over them!

He will learn that walks with us are rather more natural than walks with parents and other grandparents!

We got a walk done without getting too wet but after coming out of the cafe and coming home the heavens opened so just had to peel off my leggings and socks and put dry ones on. I took the toast, poached egg and fresh salmon. It was lovely.

I wish you would consider us oldies Blood Pressure when using such expressions

Amazon strikes again. I ordered 5/8 plastic buckles and this is what I got.

The one on the left is 5/8 the other one isn't.

I’m rapidly going off Amazon. I’ve definitely been using them less than I used to.

Hospital staff visit done, they enjoy seeing me and me them, I even went right into the ward today, a bit scary but I managed it, little steps.

Grass cut, garden tidied, frame for raised bed assembled and first coat of 'safe' preservative applied. Mill givemit a second coat, possibly on Friday and then sink it into ground and level it out.

 

[welsh dragon]

Parcel re packed ready to send back to Amazon provably on Friday.

I pulled into a layby on the way home, I have just woken up twenty minutes later.

Can't beat a spot of afternoon dogging.

Vet just phoned. Molly has a reprieve as they are short staffed tomorrow so she’s not to go in until next Wednesday.
